John Kerry was the 2004 Democrat
candidate for the Presidential election, which George Bush won a second term.
Kerry has many years of experience in foreign relations and has become known as
an expert in the field. He was an envoy to Pakistan
and Afghanistan
in President Obama’s first term. On his many trips to the region he gave many
blunt messagers to leaders in Afghanistan
that the political situation needs to improve. Also for the past four years he
has been the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.
Kerry takes over from Hilary
Clinton who has been in this role since yearly 2009. Clinton
had, over the last few years improved the international reputation and image of the U.S. , working closely with Obama on renewing some broken relationships
with many nations and leaders around the world.
Although some of the major tasks assigned to Clinton and the State Department, such as bring peace to the Middle
East have not been fully achieved, Clinton and her staff have given renewed
emphasis that peace in the Middle East can be accomplished if the leaders involved
in the conflict and the international community cooperate together.
John Kerry has indicated that he
will carry on Clinton ’s good work
in the Middle East and improve relations with other
nations.
I anticipate that John Kerry will carry
out his role in helping bringing peace to the Middle East
including Syria
and emphasize a need to develop better cooperation between nations for a
brighter future for the next generation.
